The pinnacle of World Item, one of the "twenties," capable of creating a small world entirely of one's own.
Higashino Makoto stared at the ring, a complex light flickering in his golden eyes.
"If I used the 'Creator' to create a space to enclose the void..."
He said in a low voice.
"Merge the space containing the void with the new space, and then replace it with the space I create."
He paused, then remembered that he possessed a World Item called the "Silver Key," which he could use in conjunction with other items.
"This way, I can control the size, shape, and even the switch on and off of the hole."
Tingyun looked at him, a certain light gleaming in her Kohaku eyes.
"Sir, is it possible?"
"Have no idea."
Higashino Makoto shook his head.
"But it's worth a try."
He put the ring into his backpack, stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the entire room.
In the distance, Novas Etier's floating islands appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
"Tingyun."
"Exist."
"Contact Ainz. Tell him I need to discuss something with him."
"What's up?"
"Regarding how to prevent dangers from the other side, and how to close that door."
Tingyun bowed slightly.
"Yes, sir."
She turned around and walked out of the study.
Higashino Makoto stood by the window, gazing at the sunlit sky, the outlines of the clouds reflected in his golden eyes.
"Another world..."
He said in a low voice.
"I hope it's not too powerful. If it's a world like Dragon Ball, I might not be able to handle it."
No one answered.
Only the wind outside the window rustled the curtains, making a soft whisper.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick, ninth floor, round table conference room.
Ainz sat in the main seat, his skeletal fingers crossed on the table, his crimson eyes fixed on the crystal ball before him.
The crystal ball displays a hollow image.
A distorted space, occasional falling debris, and mercenaries patrolling the edges.
After learning about the new world on the other side, he is trying to find a way to shut it down.
Albedo stood behind him, her golden eyes gleaming with contemplation.
Shalltear sat to one side, her blood-red eyes half-open and half-closed as if she were dozing off, but her ears were constantly picking up every sound around her.
The communication crystal lit up.
Ainz reached out and picked up the crystal.
"Higashino."
"Ainz, I have an idea about that void."
"Speak."
"We don't know what kind of enemy we're facing, and there's a huge risk."
Ainz's crimson eyes flickered, and he nodded in agreement with Higashino Makoto's statement.
"It's really dangerous. If possible, I'd like to turn it off. But how do I do that?"
"I have a 'twenty' item in my possession, named 'The Creator'."
Ainz was shocked to hear this, and a green light emanated from his body.
"The Creator is actually in your hands!"
Even among the top-tier World Item that disrupt the balance, the "Creator" is absolutely overpowered, almost on par with the "Ring of the Eternal Serpent" and the "World Will".
When the attribute was revealed, almost everyone had a "you're kidding me" expression.
The "Creator" can create a blank space that is uniquely yours, and you can enter and exit it at any time.
You can use it to devour things like dungeons you like and obtain unique resources or monsters from them.
Simply put, it means obtaining a guild territory that you can customize, that is exclusively yours, and that cannot be attacked under normal circumstances.
Furthermore, the space of this guild's headquarters can be moved, discarded, or destroyed at will by the owner, just like pieces of a puzzle.
You can open the door at any time and place to enter and avoid attacks, or pull enemies inside and use the environment inside to your advantage, as well as monsters or mercenaries, to gang up on them.
Furthermore, it can achieve effects similar to the "World Champion" skills "Dimensional Slash" and "Dimensional Rift" by displaying a part of the world.
Of course, when you reveal it, the world may be destroyed, and repairing it will require a lot of resources.
Of course, this world is capable of continuous growth!
Although it requires a huge amount of resources.
Compared to the guild headquarters, the disadvantages are probably the lack of NPC points and the limited space in the early stages.
If I had to say something, aside from growth potential, it's also about having stronger control over space.
It is somewhat similar to "Kamui" from Naruto.
Moreover, the "Creator" is a "twenty" and will disappear after being used once.
However, unlike the "Hourai," it does not disappear after launching an attack.
The "Creator" is quite special.
It needs to constantly consume resources to grow, including game coins, various magical metals, magical ores, and even magical items.
Any item containing a large amount of "data" is acceptable.
As long as you have a continuous supply of resources, it will continue to expand its space and will not disappear.
The moment the step disappears, the space becomes fixed, losing the possibility of further growth.
According to the information obtained by Higashino Makoto, the daily consumption, which can be converted into game coins, would roughly amount to 100 million.
Higashino Makoto actually had an idea a long time ago.
Since this world can grow using resources, what if those resources were other World Item?
Of course, this requires experimentation.
"Use the 'Creator' to create a space, enclose the void, and then control it."
Ainz remained silent for a moment, neither objecting nor immediately agreeing.
Is it possible?
"I don't know, but it's worth a try."
Ainz tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
What do you need me to do?
"No need, I just wanted to let you know. You might not be able to freely research and utilize this space connecting to New World anymore. Don't let this cause a rift between us."
"Of course, if I could control it, I could leave some space untouched. But since this is the first time using it, you should be prepared to lose this space completely."
Ainz nodded.
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
"There's one more thing."
"What?"
"Inter-world communication. If the void truly connects to another world, we need a way to communicate between the two."
Ainz was silent for a moment.
"Message" magic won't work; the distance is too great, and there's spatial distortion."
"I know. That's why we need props."
Higashino Makoto's voice was calm.
I have "Fugin and Wuni" but not enough.
"I don't have any suitable props either."
Ainz shook his head.
"But it can be made."
"Making?"
"Yes. Using YGGDRASIL's magical techniques, combined with the materials of this world, we will create a communication device that can traverse space."
Higashino Makoto remained silent for a moment.
Do you have manpower?
"Pandora, he's very skilled at making magical items."
Pandora, Higashino Makoto's first thought was of his own guardian.
Then it dawned on me that he was Ainz's biological son, the Doppelganger.
"Good."
"And you?"
"I'll have someone make them too; it's always good to have more options."
The communication has ended.
